Cabinet drafts rule over Food Safety Law

The State Council is busy drafting a detailed rule for the new Food Safety Law to ensure its implementation from June 1, a senior legislator said during an online interview yesterday.

It will "definitely" be announced before June and may include the role and responsibility of the planned national food safety commission, said Li Yuan, director of the administrative law division of the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee's legislative affairs commission.

The rule will come into force together with the law, he said.
